Little known Scottish amateur Ryan Lumsden, and the World No. 100th ranked amateur, has brilliantly qualified for next week’s U.S. Open at Shinnenock Hills. Bizarrely, at the start of qualifying on Monday there was no Scots into this year’s second Major but the Home of Golf nation will now boast three after Richie Ramsay qualified by sharing third place at Walton Heath and some five hours later with Russell Knox being tied for fifth and among the leading 14 at similiar 36-hole qualifier ...

Shane Lowry has shared the leading honours to brilliantly qualify for next week’s U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills on New York’s Long Island.

Rory McIllroy and Graeme McDowell head into the next week’s U.S. Open on Long Island clearly buoyed by fine peformances this past fortnight. McIlroy, and a week after being runner-up at Wentworth, burst in contention on day three of the Memorial in shooting a 64 and a round that equalled a similar score he shot on the final day in capturing the Arnold Palmer Invitational. The 2011 U.S Open champ left Muirfield village last night (SUN) and wasting little time headed north to New York’s Long Island ...
